In late July, professionals in the health care field visited The James-Comprehensive Cancer Center and the EdTech Incubator to learn more about applying 3D printing to surgery. Participants spent time in the Tech-Equipped Classroom (TEC), watched a surgery virtually, and had hands-on time in the 3D printing lab.

Email the Incubator at eti@osumc.edu if you'd like to explore programming for your group.
